From 1955-1963, my dad's family spent their summers in Estes Park, so we also took it as an opportunity to see their summer home {The Solheim Family lodge} and to go past places my dad remembers from his summers there {including the historic Elkhorne Lodge, which his dad/my grandfather used to own}.
The day was a gloomy rainy one, but I am a fan of that kind of weather and it made for some beautiful views from the old family summer home with Longs Peak up in the clouds. John and I enjoyed the time in the car to chat and little John did well but also wailed in his carseat {see last bullet point in Monday's post}.
I love day trips like this one where the itinerary is lax and the goal is to find a good little lunch spot midday.
